"Tour an ice cream factory"

Yum! What a delicious place to visit! Le Mars is known as the ice cream capital of the world and when you visit you can tour the Blue Bunny ice cream factory! This is where many of your favorite ice cream treats are made! It's a fun learning experience for your whole family!

"Best ice cream, okay center"

We love Blue Bunny ice cream, it is delicious. This is an okay visitor center if you are passing through the Sioux City/LeMars area, but not worth a trip out of the way. The ambiance in the sweet shop is like an old time ice cream parlor. The tour is okay, but not really that interesting for kids.

"Fun museum, followed by ice cream!"

This museum is small but well-done, featuring films about the history of the Blue Bunny company and the making of ice cream, a mock tour of ice cream production, and some hands-on activities.  Adjacent is an old-time ice cream parlor, with a variety of ice cream concoctions in a fun environment.  Worth a stop if you're traveling through northwest Iowa.
